Candradhī

Join Amayaraja and Candradhi for a weekend of practice and connection with young Buddhists from across Scotland and beyond. During the retreat we will explore what it means to bring all of our energy onto the path, and how to navigate the seemingly tensions and polarities that face us, within and without, in our lives and the world. Peace and passion, engagement and withdrawal, self and world…

Through stories, meditation, discussion, and ritual we’ll explore what it means to live a creative life of practice using mythic imagery from the life of the Buddha.

Explore the Satipatthana, the Buddha's teaching on the direct path to awakening, by interweaving movement and stillness. Candradhi and Suryadarshini have both trained in Bodhiyoga, a yoga school founded on Buddhist principles, set up by Sadhita and Sudaka. On this retreat, we'll move seamlessly between physical postures and seated meditation, recognising each as a gateway to embodied awakening.

These retreats combine introductory meditation teaching with yoga. The supportive atmosphere of the retreat allows us to develop and deepen both practices, and understand how the two augment each other. Both meditation and yoga teaching will be suitable for complete beginners.

Seeing the dangers confronting humankind these days, we can feel depressed, demoralised and helpless to avert disaster - or even to talk about such feelings. This retreat provides a space not only to talk but to explore an extraordinary sequence of reflections and communal practices that can rekindle an active hope and vision for humanity.

Going Deeper retreats are an ideal first regulars retreat. They are suitable for anyone who has already done an introductory retreat, or who has been attending their local Triratna centre and wants to take things deeper.
